Barry,
DS> You need to get some Viagra for your hard drive. Besides,
DS> Windows does have LONG file names, as of Windows 95. <G>
BM> No problems here: it boots with a SOLID State Drive.
That's what the electronics are nowadays, instead of tubes. :P
DS> I hope I don't have to go down that road.
BM> Right. I'm thinking no way to prove a recording was made, much less
BM> kept and so available.
They do make that for the 911 calls.
DS> Years ago, the term SERVICE meant something. But, nowadays,
DS> things like CUSTOMER SERVICE, POSTAL SERVICE, INTERNAL REVENUE
DS> SERVICE, etc. seem to have little meaning.
BM> Ohm the IRS will serve you! <g> We've had pretty good results with the
BM> Postal Service. Customer Service -- that one can be dicey.
I'm still waiting on the tax refund for my late Mom's return. It was
filed electronically, but I think it was filed in early June (they had
extended the deadline to July 15).
DS> "We've been trying to reach you about your auto warranty
DS> insurance". <CLICK!> is my response.
BM> Yup: various warranties for cars, computers. Noticed the last week or
BM> so the e-mail Junk Mail Folders have exploded; this on top of the junk mail
BM> being automatically shuttled to Junk Land.
Doesn't surprise me...especially in relation to "how to spend your
COVID-19 stimulus".
BM> They probably won't -- the height here is before citations start to be
BM> issues is 10".
The refund came in, but I'll have some more breathing room with the tax
refund. Yet, with thunderstorms forecast much of the rest of the week, I
don't want him mowing with a threat of lightning...and it's hard to mow
wet grass.
BM> The problem wasn't stupidity but a shortage of coins. Plus passing
BM> money (bills and coins) back and forth is just another was to
BM> potentially pass on the coronavirus (or other illness). I'm thinking
BM> except for the legal requirment of needing to accept currency it would have
BM> been banned during the pandemic.
They've been talking about taking pennies out of circulation for years.
And, the ultimate goal is "a cashless society".
DS> I haven't checked the ports for their genders...although when
DS> my wife was alive, mine was named Cedrick, and hers was Selena. <G>
BM> That might keep the neighbours wondering! "Have you seen Selena?"
BM> "No, Cedrick's over here. "Can you call her for me?"
<cue Ernestine, the telephone operator <G>>
DS> notice on the BBS that "Doors Are For Amusement Only -- You Can
DS> NOT Win Money. Your only reward is if you make the top score
DS> bulletins".
BM> Yeah... people expect money for nothing, ...and the chimps are free.
BM> (That mis-heard lyric just screamed 'type me!'!!)
Chimps or chips?? See the tagline below.
BM> During construction they put the cabinets against the ceiling.
DS> I'll probably get stuck on the way up or down. :P
BM> The oven door is not to be used as a step.
No wonder I burned something else. :P
DS> I haven't used the sprinkler system here in ages, and the water
DS> main for that was turned off long ago.
BM> The only automated watering system here was an attempt at making a
BM> soaker from an old hose: drill small holes every so often. Section closest
BM> to the water entry would drizzle water if low enough pressure
BM> but the middle and far end was essentially dry. If increase pressure
BM> to get to the end then the near part was too much and digging out the dirt.
We've had so much rain, the grass is growing like weeds.
BM> As for picnicing, washing cars, planning an outdoor event, etc., those will
BM> definitely bring rain even if it hasn't rained for a month!
DS> You have to wonder.
BM> Does Mother Nature get attracted to those events or do we
BM> subconsciously plan those events in response to natural meteorological
BM> events which precede rain?!
Hard to say.
DS> Governor Asa Hutchinson signed an Executive Order, effective
DS> July 20, that MASKS ARE REQUIRED in public places. My guess is
DS> the only place they won't enforce it, is inside your domicile,
BM> Not a public place.
That may be next. I guess they'll tell us what toilet paper to use,
and how much we should excrete. :P
DS> with other family members. Besides, it does no good to wear it if
DS> taking a bath or a shower. If someone asks me if I took a bath or
DS> shower, I ask them "Why?? Is There One Missing??". <G>
BM> I aked if they were going to return it before they took my temperature!
As noted earlier, at least it wasn't rectally. :P
BM> there are times to follow and there are times to question.
BM> ... Mixed-up Ads - Bounty and Viagra: The quicker pecker upper
"We want the big red dildo on the wall". "No, that's our fire extinguisher".
